Thank you
@fogie for uploading them to the die crack attribution guide.
Nothing makes you understand what the most common places for cracks are on 1921-Ds quite like drawing map after map.

When in doubt... don't.

Excellent! Looks nice. Sticking with the template makes it easier to view them all quickly. Thanks for doing this. Hoping you have a graphics tablet of some sort.

Dennis, Thanks again for all you do. Those cracks are addicting!
I will take another crack at those ??? that still need VAMming!
and thanks Fogie for your help on this key tool that quickly helps many members.
When it's no longer fun, I think I'm done!

No tablet. Just Photoshop, a mouse, and a 27" monitor.

We're now up to 107 coins that have maps. But that's still less than half of the 230 different VAMs currently known.
As I did this project with my own coins, 8 different ones turned out to be so EDS that there were absolutely no cracks on either side. Later die state examples will likely be different.
When in doubt... don't.
